i've got ubuntu installed with lamp.

im using webdav to upload/download files to/from the ubuntu web server, after i have edited the php source files in netbeans. however, i wonder what is best practice for editing source files and committing these changes to the new website.

cause if we are 2-3 developers, i guess we have to use svn. but i have never used it before so i wonder how it works.

should i install it and then select the /var/www (apaches webroot) as the repository folder? then when i check in, all the changes will apply immediately?

could someone please explain following steps: how to download, edit the source files, upload the files and see the new changes in the website.

cause i have only worked with a local apache before, and it was only me. now there will be some more programmers so i have to set up a decent, central environment for this, and have to know how netbeans, svn, webdav and apache works all together.

thanks!
